Alexander Skarsgård is hosting SNL this week, and according to the skit above the cast and crew love having the Pillion star around for one specific reason.

"He tall," says Kam Patterson, after Skarsgård helps him retrieve a football from the top of a camera. While the rest of the cast are enjoying shoulder rides, the also-tall Ben Marshall comes in to the room to offer his assistance — but is met with a very different response.

"Get lost, beanstalk!" screams Jeremy Culhane from atop Skarsgård's shoulders.

Maybe it helps to be tall and Alexander Skarsgård.
